Umbrella Corps is... different, not 'good' different Look, reviews are subjective and so is this, so take this with a grain of salt if you actually want to play. This game gets clowned upon for being a really bad multiplayer entry within the RE franchise and it's rightfully deserved, those who play this game (including me) either play it because it's somewhat fun or its usually a guilty pleasure, its the latter for …

It's not the worst game in the series... Bad, but in a good way lmao I can see the appeal if you're super into anything Umbrella or RE, just misunderstood and abandoned (prob just a tax right off) if they had fixed some of the main issues this game had like movement speed, it could've had a chance at a small player base. That being said buy it on sale, not $20.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon CIty was somehow more fun to play and competently designed, yet taken off Steam store while this steaming pile of turd is still sold. Let that sink in.

I'm just surprised that you still buy this piece of crap. I wouldn't recommend doing so unless you get it on its $5 sale so that you can have it in your library before it's inevitably delisted. Anyways, not worth your time. Nobody's playing this. There is technically a single player mode but it is the most repetitive single player RE experience ever. "Kill all the bad guys" "Collect all the briefcases" "Stand in the …

I really wanted to like this! I tried but my lord it is awful. I remember seeing all the hate when it first came out and I stayed away from it. a few years ago I bought it on sale but of course I didn't play it straight away. As of this review, This is the first time I ever tried it. Stay far away from this one. It isn't even worth being free. Just play any other Resident Evil game instead.

Players who liked Umbrella Corps talk about hilarious if not taken seriously; those who didn't talk about lack of online activity and player base. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Reception to the game was generally negative. On its reveal, critics compared the game to the Call of Duty franchise and Capcom's own Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, which itself had a mixed reception. Andy Chalk from PC Gamer thought that the game strayed too far from the franchise and thought that it was a pointless addition to the series. Nicholas Tan from GameRevolution thought that Umbrella Corps was a standard and generic first-person shooter with a Resident Evil skin on it. Steven Burns from VideoGamer.com criticized the small size of the maps (which he considered “generally quite boring") and the field of view. He described Umbrella Corps as "a bizarre mishmash of styles and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy sh*t! I DID IT — 100% complete! It took me 73 hours to beat this game. Honestly, the game isn't as bad as people say in the comments. The real problem is the lack of online activity. But hey — we formed a group, and together we took down that beast! Get lucky!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having now played every RE game with Wesker in it, I gotta say — Umbrella Corps hinting that Wesker was cloned really doesn’t seem that far fetched anymore. Obviously it can just be chalked up to different writing teams at different times, but there’s two very distinct takes on him in this series.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright, you've obviously seen the reviews about this game. And yes in fact it could be better, the game was abandoned one month after release and it could have been more polished, however, it's not the worst, it is different from the main RE games and the horror/survival aspect but it still can be fun, from the little time i spent on it to test it i can say that even in it's current condition if you have friends to play the online mode with you will have lots of fun, as for the single player…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why is this even still available on Steam? Just re-release Operation Raccoon City at this point
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Umbrella Corps attempts to carve out a niche as a fast-paced, tactical multiplayer shooter set in the Resident Evil universe. While it introduces some fresh ideas and fan-service nods, the execution falls short of expectations, making it a polarizing experience for both series veterans and shooter fans. The core gameplay revolves around quick, close-quarters firefights in small, maze-like maps filled with environmental hazards and zombies. Players can customize their loadouts and use tactics…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m the only person who has a normal opinion about Monster Hunter Wilds. Wilds is a fun game that gave a lot of weapons some really cool new moves. It had some really neat new monsters and returning monsters and they look cool. It’s also the worst game Capcom has published since Umbrella Corps

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hot garbage, even if there were people to play it, it's so empty of anything to do. I thought my friends and I could at least meme through some co-op missions but turns out THAT'S NOT A THING. Guess we mixed some things together with Operation Raccoon City, my bad, but the game wouldn't be better without that assumption.

neutral · AI labelView post →This game is a masterpiece. One of the greatest multiplayer shooters of our time. The only reason there are bad reviews is because people cannot comprehend the beauty and intricacy of this game. (I played with penguinz0/MoistCritikal) In all honesty, this game is fun to play once or twice with a friend (or youtuber) just don't expect too much. Don't view this as a resident evil game, but instead as something separate and you'll have a lot more fun. 10/10 would play again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is probably one of the worst games I've played but its so laughably bad that it loops back around to being peak fiction
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a former pro player for this game, and one of 2 players involved in the largest Umbrella Corps money match of all time, this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100% recommend great game, smooth game play, has Hunk. I would 100% play this for years(no bias)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually genuinely like Umbrella Corps, it expands upon the third person multiplayer aspect with Resident Evil themes, characters, and enemies. It was a lot of fun in its hayday and I'm not exactly sure why it has so much hate. Me and my friends truly loved this game and I find myself going back to it often to see if there is anyone still around! Much like Operation Raccoon City, this game is a rough gem that people immediately hate but is actually genuinely a fun time.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's extremely aracdey and fast as a shooter to make you feel like a professional geared up soldier unlike the re games. But when the mechanics are largely the same with an option to crouch, prone and climb. It ends up making the game lose a lot of weight and impact. This feeds into the arcade campaign missions which start out piss easy because they want you to feel powerful. That falls apart when the game doesn't provide any interesting shooting mechanics or map design that the enemies or you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game made me cry and realize just how meaningless life is.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like I consented to getting a frontal lobotomy. Panned on release and still underwhelming today, there's nothing here but online grind and uninspired map designs. CAPCOM is high on cocaine if they still want to get into the multiplayer market with this flaming hot garbage, Resistance and Re:Verse. I picked this up on a sale, and I can honestly say, this is the worst RE game to date after spending hours churning each mundane challenge and cycling through the same maps. Not even a single…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tutorial is fun, nobody is online in any game modes though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It honestly is a weird game in the Resident Evil series. It's a shame that it has the same problems as Resistance and Re:Verse. One thing it does better than both is that it has a single-player campaign like Operation: Raccoon City so at least I can play it even without being required to solely play multiplayer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easily the best Resident Evil game in the franchise. The combat, variety of play, and enemy types put it above both the original Resident Evil 4 and its Remake. The tension in the game blows Resident evil 2 Remake out of the water. I have no idea why CAPCOM stop funding this game. It's literally the only good Resident Evil game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TRIPLE SHAKE-UP We'll start on time at 4:00 (40 minutes from now) with Umbrella Corps, a dogshit mobile game COD Zombies clone they relabeled to be Resident Evil and then had the audacity to staple a CANON "story" onto. It's also Alfredo's first Resident Evil :~)
negative · AI labelView post →Sadly this game isn't even good for taking the piss. Genuinely one of the most mindnumbing experiences. I'd have been better off taking out $10 in cash and setting it on fire
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →by far the worst resident evil related game ive played. save your money even on sale
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is mostly dead and you need 3 other people to start a match. Umbrella Corps is an arcade shooter. There is a campaign mode that consists of collecting samples from dead enemies. There's no story or lore connecting to the main Resident Evil storyline.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Operation Raccoon CIty is somehow more competent.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Who thought about making an RE game on a unity engine? This feels like a mobile FPS game trying to be TPS game, and it still sucks. The experiments things (which is the only PvE mode in the game) are repetitive, and can be done in one session. 100% achievements are impossible with dead lobbies, unless you force 7 people to buy the game and (good luck trying to convince them to buy this garbage) to help you with finishing the achievements Just don't buy the game...not even on sale, but if you…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Umbrella Corps is one of the worst shooters ever made, and it's the worst Resident Evil related title ever made. REsistance had some fun ideas and allowed for quick, snack sized games where you can play in the Resident Evil universe in a unique way. It wasn't a *good* game, but I could see why some people enjoyed it. REverse had one or two fun gimmicks, but was generally a garbage experience. I could still l see some fun to be had in a "so bad it's good" kinda way and it was a fairly simple…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just to chronicle it: Wesker and Krauser’s stated goal in the original RE4 was “restoring Umbrella”. Just a few years later, the new PMC Umbrella/Umbrella Corps was established. Umbrella Corps (the game) is set post-RE5, and features your CO speculating on who his boss could be, a man
neutral · AI labelView post →It's not as bad as people say it is. It has simple, fast and effective gameplay. If you are into PVE and PVP, I can't help but recommend this if you can find it for less than $10. It runs amazing on the Steam Deck.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This feels like one of those cheap asset flip scam games. But this is an actual official product by a major publisher. I can't believe they would think it's ok to release this in such a clearly early and unpolished state, let alone charge money for it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Greatest resident evil game! The multiplayer is incredibly immersive. the level design is peak, and dont get me started on the gunplay. Do yourself a favor and buy this game already! Umbrella corps GOTY 2025 (I got to play with Penguinz0/ moist critikal so it was peak)
